What will be the day of the week 15th August, 2010?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
15th August, 2010 = (2009 years + Period 1.1.2010 to 15.8.2010)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 7 x 1) = 11 odd days 4 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June July Aug. (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) = 227 days
227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days)
3 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 3) = 7 0 odd days.
Given day is Sunday.

Hey, this type of questions can be easily done by following formula
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f= K+[(13m-1)/5]+ d+[d/4]+[c/4]-2c
Here k= date of which you have to calculate(15 in above que.)
m= month (for march, m=1 and so on..for jan m=11)
d= last two digit of given year(10 in above que.)
c= first two digit of given year(20 in above que.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
note: take only integer value after division for ex. 13/5=2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For given question
15th August, 2010?
f=15+[(13*6-1)/5]+10+[10/4]+[20/4]-2*20
=15+15+ 10 + 2 + 5 -40
=7
Now 7%7==0
So its SUNDAY.

@vishnu : those 4 days are the result of 11days(divide these 11days into weeks and days, so u get 7+4,here 7days makes a week and do count those 4 extra days.) so finally we get 4ODD DAYS..
